Good fun. Maybe the Cyber Tombs look nothing like the original, but maybe there were several areas - or more than one tomb on Telos. A fan head can explain away anything!
Disliked the subplot of the two escaping prisoners. What on Earth was the point?
Brian Glover is entertaining to watch. I think that Saward cared more about Lytton than he did about looking after the Doctor and Peri's characters in the narrative though.
Oh sorry, I forgot that Paula Moore wrote this. Oops!

Was casting the same actor as the Cybercontroller from the 1967 "Tomb" a lovely idea - or a dumb mistake? And have you ever reconciled in your mind why he would seem to have acquired that illogical paunch?

It wasn't bad. Though I much preferred episode one to episode two if I'm honest. It's mostly down to the Cryons, just found them silly.

A 3 from me.
The first part seemed pretty good, pretty witty and pacey, and with bits of intrigue in there.
Part two left me half-wondering if I'd missed a third part in there somewhere. It all felt a bit undeveloped and unsatisfying, and Lytton's redemption ends up making little sense (after all, he still led his criminal gang into a deadly trap). And it all comes across like Saward had to kill everyone off to stop us asking further questions of whether the moral shift makes sense.
Part of the problem is it lacks a sense of a ticking clock, especially since the crucial events of Mondas' destruction are a year away. And whilst the Doctor sometimes has to resort to violence, usually part of the suspense of a story is knowing that he's not a gun-toting hero and wondering how he might survive and defeat this adversity via other means. Having him therefore just go for his gun and start shooting away at the end after all, is just unsatisfying.

Continuity in Doctor Who at its worst.
Utter shite.
The first episode is bearable, but once they get to Telos it all goes pear shaped.
Attwell seems to think he’s Branagh, what with all that shouting.
And the Cyber Controller must have been in a good paddock recovering from Toberman giving his a damn good thrashing. That’s all I can say.
The crushing of Lytton’s hand seems unnecessarily violent as well.
